S&W Training Sprachen und Wirtschafts GmbH

	Annmarie Higgins Vice President, Human Resources BMW AG “The course, materials, and staff were all excellent. I felt challenged, and at the same time, encouraged. I would highly recommend S&W. It was well worth the investment of my time.”

	Don Jackson President Volkswagen Group of America Enjoyed the training experience Knowledgeable staff – one-on-one training I would recommend the course to others to either start a new language or expand on your existing During the two week experience I had 3 different instructors. They worked as a team and modified the plan daily to support my overall education experience.

	Thomas Loafman Director of Purchasing VW Group of America “Taking S&W German language training is like taking a ride in a F-1 with a professional driver: It goes incredibly fast but the driver takes you safely through each twist and turn.”

	Alison Adams Teacher „My experience with S&W was absolutely perfect. Don’t change a thing! What I appreciated most about the personell at S&W, other than their language expertise and compassion, was their willingness to be totally flexible with the needs of my daughter and myself. Our experience was worth every cent!”

	Martin Hirsch Head of Group US Communications Roche “After one week at S&W, there was good news and bad news: The bad news was, I still couldn’t speak German. The good news was, I could understand it better. And I was actually optimistic that I could learn it. The course was definitely worthwhile. I’m already planning to come back for another week – to learn German or die trying.”

	Chris Newhouse Roche Diagnostics Head of System Development “My wife and I took a partners course together. We had learned some German before this, but in very different ways and were at different levels. Nevertheless the staff at S&W Training were able to quickly determine (based on our ‘Needs Analysis’ and the first day with us) what we needed help with and tailored the curriculum for our two weeks perfectly.”

	Nancy Stahl “Since I have lived in the German speaking world for thirteen years, I have developed some ‘bad habits’ in getting my point across with poor grammar. The teachers at S&W were of the highest quality and managed to untangle much of my muddle in a week’s time. Their help will certainly prove invaluable.”

	Robert Yates Director Diagnostics Business Roche Diagnostics “Well planned and structured program! Excellent approach to learning! Outstanding teachers!”

	Jeff Martin Vice President Citigroup “What a magnificent learning experience! Niels with his enormous background knowledge about Germany, the Germans, and the German business culture which provides you with a lot of added value, and his highly professional and fully committed team make you always feel comfortable in spite of hard work. The stunning beauty of Meersburg and the surrounding Lake Constance region with lots of cultural highlights complete a perfect package. I can only recommend S&W Training to everybody who wants – or needs – to learn German in Germany.”

	David Sisson President & CEO AirLiance Materials “As a complete beginner I found my two weeks stay at S&W to be an excellent introduction to the German language. I have learned a great deal and have a good basis for continued study. I plan to return on a regular basis for further study.”

	Elizabeth Catlin Senior Manager Ernst & Young “For me, this course clarified the grammar in the more difficult areas of the German language as well as took me a step beyond my current level of knowledge. The focus on what is important to me was put into context and helped me understand the German language.”

	Matt Arrigale Schott North America, Inc. Director, Human Resources “I strongly recommend S&W Training to anyone who is serious about learning. The atmosphere here is absolutely fantastic, and the trainers are extremely competent, friendly, and helpful. They immediately make you feel like part of the team. The accommodations and social aspects of Lake Constance are also simply terrific.”

	Jeannine Pascal Associate Director The Royal Bank of Scotland “I was and remain a huge fan of S&W Training. I first came to S&W in 1993 for an intensive German course in order to land a job in Germany. Thanks to the very high professional level of teaching and tailor-made classes, I was indeed able to interview in German and get a job in Frankfurt. Because the people at S&W made such a positive impression on me, and because Meersburg is such a charming, pretty town, I returned to S&W for further studies. I can definitely recommend S&W to anyone wishing to make good progress with their business German. Vielen Dank an das Team von S&W!”

	Therese St. Peter Head, Programme and Policy Development Syngenta Foundation “Exceeded every expectation …”

	Tom Bonham Region Manager Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America “A great German experience all around. The language courses were very flexible in content, depending on starting ability, and timing, my courses were split over two separate weeks. The people at S&W and around Meersburg were always courteous and interesting. To top it off there were lots of great cultural experiences around the Bodensee. At the end of the first week Frau Trautwein, the owner of my lodging, and I went out to see BB King at the Zeltfest in Konstanz, experiencing a wild storm on the Bodensee during the ferry ride and a rainbow blessed docking in Konstanz after the storm. I came a few days early for the second week of training along with my girlfriend so we could sightsee around the Bodensee and go to the opera in Bregenz, where the stage floats on the water. One of the best events we have ever attended. At the end I was able to speak German, and I had something to talk about with my German work colleagues.”

	Renee Masserey Pricing Manager Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. “I had first experienced S&W in January 1990, and was impressed by the team-oriented approach and importance given to individual needs. I returned in October 2003, this time with my 9-year old son who will be entering a German-speaking school in two years. We were both very happy with our courses, and enjoyed a wonderful week learning and relaxing. Our teachers were energetic, very personable and eager to help us reach our goals for the week.“
